Arteries are major "highways" that carry blood through the body from the heart. When these major blood vessels become narrowed or blocked which makes it difficult for blood to pass through them, causing serious health associated complications. Fortunately, most artery problems can be treated by a vascular surgeon both surgically and medically.

Carotid arteries are in your neck that carry blood to the brain. Narrowing of the vessels and plaque deposits can build up in these arteries, constricting the arteries, affecting efficient blood flow to the brain, which can lead to health problems, including a stroke.
